Hi

We were recently attacked by the SirCam pest. I spent around 18 hours
scanning and cleaning my LAN computers. Editing the registry to remove the
open with sircam entry and deleting files. Searching all Exchange boxes to
remove sent copies and restoring from backups the files that could not be
repaired. The cost in overtime will be �3000.00 plus.

I then installed Declude and F-Prot. It cost me �500.00 and 20 minutes to
set up.

I am not saying this is the only solution on the market or that it is the
best solution on the market.

What I am saying is that compared to cleaning up the problem the cost of
preventing it was nothing by comparison.

I would like to thank everyone who expressed an opinion when I asked the
list about virus protection.

Thank you all for your help.

Also I feel it would be nice if Ipswitch put together some information on
virus protection for the Imail Server that could be given to new users. Even
if it was just a list of compatable products. A starting point is a great
help when trying to fix a problem.
